Kai Time: Island living on Bio Bay w/ Kayaks & Bikes--Walk to Rum Point Beach!

***Property Overview***
Welcome to Kai Time, a slice of paradise on the North Side of Grand Cayman. This lovely 2-bedroom home is one of the Island Houses, a residential community of 18 split-level townhomes located in the tranquil Cayman Kai neighborhood.

Kai Time benefits from a superb location with Rum Point Beach just across the street and the island�s Bioluminescent Bay in your backyard. This home has everything you need for an unforgettable Cayman vacation!

Kai Time spans two levels with the living areas downstairs and two-bedroom suites upstairs.

The downstairs features a large living area, a home office sunroom, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area for six, plus a laundry room and powder room. The home office is wired with fiber internet providing fast data speeds for multiple streaming devices and work-from-home professionals.

The lower level opens out onto a 2-story screened lanai providing quintessential indoor/outdoor island living with fantastic waterfront views. The lanai will be your early morning and end-of-day go-to spot. A charcoal grill sits just outside the lanai for island cookouts.

The large pool is only steps from your lanai and is reserved for owners and guests exclusively. Sunbathers will find plenty of pool-side loungers to soak up some rays while enjoying water views of the cove. The two boat docks are convenient for private charter boat pickup.

The upper level features two bedroom suites each furnished with a private balcony overlooking the screened lanai.

***Bedroom & Bathroom Layout***
(Licensed to sleep 6 guests max.)
-- Master Suite - upper level, king bed, water views, television, air conditioning, private screened balcony, ensuite bath with shower.

1 tandem kayak, 2 single kayaks, and 1 paddleboard, as well as sand toys and bocce ball are provided complimentary.

When kayaking at night, the bioluminescence appears when micro-organisms in the water are disturbed by your paddles. Amazing and educational, the bioluminescence is not to be missed. Book a guided tour with Cayman Kayaks.

Along with the kayaks and paddleboard, 2 adult bicycles are also provided complimentary. Cruise the neighborhood or head to The Kaibo for a quick bite to eat. End the day with amazing sunsets at Starfish Point�just don�t disturb the starfish, please.

***Beach Notes***
The Island Houses enjoy a private sandy beach for everything from building sand castles to launching kayaks or trying one�s hand at paddleboarding. The waters here are shallow with a soft bottom; perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, but not ideal for swimming or snorkeling. For a barefoot beach experience with great food and a unique vibe, head across the street to Rum Point Beach.

Rum Point Beach offers a spectacular white sandy beachfront with vibrant snorkeling, shaded hammocks, watersports, charter excursions, two restaurants, and a beach bar. Chaises are plentiful on a first-come, first-served basis.

South of Rum Point Beach you will find The Kaibo, a local beach club and marina. The Kaibo consists of a coffee shop and two restaurants, a beach bar and grill on the lower level along with a fine dining restaurant upstairs. Live music, beach barbecues, and full moon parties are highlights at Kaibo.

From the Kaibo Marina, hop on the Cayman Ferry for a day trip across the sound to the shops and restaurants at Camana Bay and Seven Mile Beach.

***Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum seasonally. Sargassum is a harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years.

Sargassum RARELY is an issue at the Island Houses.

***Nearby Points of Interest***
-- Home is on the island's Bioluminescent Bay
-- 3-minute walk across the road to Rum Point Beach (temporarily closed)

***Getting Around***
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island.

For rental cars, we recommend Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz.

Gem!
This was the best VRBO we have ever been to. The villa was in perfect order and had thought through every detail. There were cooking oils and spices to help with meals. Coffee, filters, first aid kits, shampoo/confitioner, hair dryer, beach towels, beach bags, every detail was thought of. There was an excellent restaurant at the beach club across the street. Rental car is essential. Great location for a relaxing and laid back vacation. We ate in a couple of nights and went out other nights. If you’re on the fence, go for it!!

Great location! Quiet and private.
We loved the location and the we loved how quiet and private the whole area was while we were there. The condo is easy to love. Parking right outside the door and easy to get in and out of. I couple of steps from the beach. We loved the kayaks and the bioluminescence bay. Evenings on the large patio were wonderful. Had everything we could need and more.

Kai Time was Awesome Time
Our stay at Kai Time was wonderful and was perfect for an active family of 5. We spent our mornings and evenings in the screened in porch and went kayaking or paddleboarding every day. The location was great being on the cove being able to swim at night with the glowing algae and then taking walks every morning to Starfish point. Great neighborhood to go for walks and see the beautiful homes. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Great place at Rum Point
Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Kayaked every day along with taking bike rides around the neighborhood. Loved cooking in rather than going out to eat every night. Didn’t want for anything the place was stocked. You won’t be disappointed if your looking for a quiet and remote place to stay. This is on the quieter part of the island and must be willing to drive to town if you need anything.

Wonderful !
We had a wonderful stay here in May of 2022. The home was immaculately clean, modern and well appointed - things like a (working!) printer with paper that came in very handy for our COVID departure documents. We didn't find anything that was not in perfect working order. It was unfortunate that the amenities at Rum Point (dining, water sports) were closed due to storm damage, but we still had a wonderful time and explored the other dining opportunities on the north and east shores (Tukka was our favorite). Even though we drove to the Seven Mile Beach area every day for activities (scuba, stingray city, turtle center), it was nice to retire to the comfortable accommodations of Kai Time each evening. We would certainly stay here again on a future trip to Grand Cayman.

Great place in Rum Point
My wife, daughter (8), and I stayed in Kai Time #14 in March of 2022. Overall the property was extremely well-appointed and exceptionally clean. The location of the condo in the group of homes was really ideal - you were able to view the cove/water and also have easy access to the pool. Being in Rum Point things are more laid back and way less busy than down in Georgetown/7-mile area. There are quite a few good restaurants on the north side, just up the road, (over the edge, Tukka, Kaibo) and if you go just a little further you can go to Tides and Eagle Rays (the best lionfish tacos on the island!). The restaurant, bar, and watersports rental across the street at Rum Point beach have been closed down for quite a few months now - but that shouldn't deter you. Getting up to the property from the airport was pretty simple - although a good 40+ minute drive. Download the google maps of the island onto your smartphone for offline use and you can have turn-by-turn directions even if you do not have cell service. Of all of the places we've stayed at in the Caribbean, including another VRBO down in Georgetown, this place was the most well kept, appointed with items to make your stay easier or better, and up-to-date. When we come back to GC we'll stay here again. Thanks!

A Twelve!
On a scale of 1-10, this Rum Point beauty is a twelve! We've been using VRBO regularly for twenty-five years, and this property was one of the best. In my reviews, I try not to repeat others comments, which are deservedly all positive...Here are my additions: Attention to detail by the owner is amazing. We used the first aid kit, extra mosquito spray, extension cords, and flashlights from the many cabinets, and both types of coffee pots. The bath towels were soft and fluffy, the beach towels plentiful, and the pillows firm. Plenty of hot water for showers, with high pressure. TV's pictures were superb, and the internet was fast. Bikes and helmets were in great shape. And yes, you can make free LD phone calls to the states! The swimming pool is just steps away, as is the calm bay for kayaking and paddle boarding. The onsite restaurant and nearby Kaibo restaurants were tasty with good service. We plan to come back next year.

The home was filled with soo many extras that made the trip all that more perfect, from books and games to towels, beach bags and coolers. Even extra touches like handmade soaps in the bathrooms and a binder full of home and island information. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Karolyn

Absolute Perfection!
#14 "Kai Time" made for the perfect home base for our week in Grand Cayman with our 18 year old son. The Island Houses are situated perfectly for walks across the street to the Rum Point Wreck Bar and Rum Point Club and Red Sails Sports' chartered boat excursions. We highly recommend the 2.5 hour catamaran trip to Stingray City and snorkeling on the nearby barrier reef. We snorkeled every full day we were on Grand Cayman, including 2 days of parking our rental car at the Cayman Kai Public Beach and walking a bit further to the Sea Lodges, letting the currents drift us to Rum Point, and then my husband would walk the quarter mile back to retrieve the car while our son and I rinsed our salty gear. I wish we could do this every day! When we weren't snorkeling, we spent hours sitting on the lanai with coffee (the condo kitchen included a French press!) or tropical drinks, enjoying all of the windows open and steady breezes. #14 had excellent views and access of the bioluminescent bay, as well as birds and lizards and spotting a few shy Rum Point Cats (such a treat, as the only thing we missed about home was our own feline family members). Next time we will plan our trip to avoid close proximity of the full moon, for better viewing of the glowing Dinoflagellates.

Fabulous family retreat
We had an excellent family gathering at Rum Point. The houses, we had 2, offered plenty of amenities. The location was terrific. We preferred this end of the island, away from 7 mile beach. We kayaked the cove, snorkeled off the beach and shared great meals together. One of the homes ac units conked out mid stay and was not able to be repaired until after we left was our only negative. We hope to come back.

Fantastic accommodations in Rum Point. Owner has thought of everything.
Just a perfect set up in Rum Point right on the bay. Steps to the pool, two great restaurants with Rum Point and Kaibo very nearby and a beautiful well equipped home with a gorgeous lanai overlooking the bio-luminescent bay. Exactly what we were looking for and the process was very easy. Recommend 100%

Outstanding Rum Point location
This property and location were perfect. Easy to find with off street parking at Rum Point is only the beginning. Nicely appointed, safe and well equipped for a very relaxing vacation. This was really a home away from home. The owners provided great instructions, recommendations and equipment (bicycles, kayaks, snorkeling gear, etc.) allowing anyone to enjoy as much of the surrounding as they may want to. Scenic view with easy access to the pool, cove and beach areas. The comfort of the home was better than described. Visiting in May offered a quiet time for the whole island with ideal weather. The house with its two bedrooms, full baths, kitchen, screened in lanai and living room was spacious and quite comfortable. Nice tropical breezes during the day and air conditioning if needed for the night. Limited restaurants but with a little drive there are nice places for dinner. You can also catch the nearby ferry if you want to travel to the busy Seven Mile beach area for the day. Would I stay there again - yes without question. If this is your idea of a vacation you cannot go wrong with this rental. One hint is to make sure you stop at the grocery store (several between airport and the town of Savannah) before heading out to Rum Point if you plan to snack, cook and even for refreshments (coffee, creamer, water, sodas, etc). Thanks to the owners for offering the property as it was a truly great rental.

My family and I have had a glorious week of "sunning", sailing, kayaking and just relaxing at Kai Time this week. Both of our teenage daughters (14 & 17) said they thought this was out best vacation ever and we have to agree. If we are lucky enough to get back to Grand Cayman, we will certainly stay here!
